Matthew was a Top Ten staple from 1974 through 2007, a Biblical boy with a long history of use.
Today parents are borrowing the Italian form for a name that’s fresher and more interesting, but every bit as enduring. Our Baby Name of the Day is Matteo.
Baby Name of the Day: Orly

Today’s choice has two distinct origins with similar meanings.
Thanks to mom-to-be Michelle for suggesting Orly as our Baby Name of the Day.

David Bowie met a girl called Blue Jean back in 1984, but you’re more likely to meet a child wearing this colorful appellation.

There’s been much buzz about the newly coined Ily, but how ’bout this one?
Thanks to Emma for suggesting Ilo as Baby Name of the Day.
Baby Name of the Day: Ornella
She’s an elaborate throwback, an Italiano nature name with a surprising literary backstory.
Thanks to Alta for suggesting Ornella as Baby Name of the Day.
Starbaby News: Welcome Marcello
Writer Diablo Cody, of Juno and United States of Tara fame, is a new mom. She and husband Daniel Maurio welcomed son Marcello Daniel yesterday.
Marcello has never charted in the US Top 1000, but could he follow other celeb-inspired, ends-in-o names like Harlow and Marlo into more common use? Or is the o-craze just a phase, the next generation’s -aden?
Readers, thoughts?
Baby Name of the Day: Otto
It’s a great choice for a German ruler, but what about a little American boy?
Thanks to Emma for suggesting the surprisingly wearable Otto as Baby Name of the Day.
Baby Name of the Day: Orlando
With a rich legendary and literary past, it would be a mistake to give this one over to the Mouse.
Thanks to Jane for suggesting Orlando as Baby Name of the Day.
Baby Name of the Day: Diego
He’s cousin to Dora and the best friend animals have had since Dr. Doolittle.
Thanks to Urban Angel for suggesting Diego as Baby Name of the Day.
